Default Cube thanks you for not deleting it right of the gate like so many of its fallen brethren.

@lucutes2936 Год назад

sad

@billnoname8093 Год назад

we delete the default cube,or I do, so I can adjust the size in the lower window, just like any other object. I'm guessing that is why most do. Plus I want a clean slate. You can change you're start up page, but I personally want it there since I have several instances of Blender running.

Default Cube is the cousin of the Companion Cube.

For the folks using Blender 4.1 auto smooth is no longer in " Data " under normal. It is now found in Modifiers > Normals.

@roberto660 Год назад

9:31 If you can't seem to understand why ALT+S doesn't work for you, like it didn't for me for 20 minutes is because you first have to select the object and go to wireframe mode. After that, go into face mode, click one of the faces and press A, that will pick all of the faces. You should be able to scale it evenly using the ALT+S hotkey

@mogawa451 2 года назад

This was extremely helpful to me. Main points that I got from this 1. ctrl+shift+b 2. bevels 3. harden normals 4. clamp overlaps 5. separating parts

@SixySix704 Год назад

what does that mean

@cyonu5675 9 месяцев назад

Ctrl shift b isnt for bevel it's for vertex bevel and is almost always useless unless you are doing an outline and mirroring it rather than creating the shape as a whole or adding details to anything other than a plane or spline

What I enjoy about this tutorial compared to ones done by others is that you have that one thing enabled to let us see what keys your hitting and such which I find helps and that you explain things more simply. Thankyou for this tutorial

I was away from blender for about 8 years. What drove me away was funky shading issues and artifacts. So glad you addressed those issues in detail. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff.

@TacoBear_Studios Год назад

Hello Josh, I have been working on and off in blender for 2yrs, I am new to your channel, I just love how thorough but to the point your teaching and explanation have been, for example your explanation of the Normal - auto smooth function was excellent! No filler or drawn out detail or theory, just straight to the point on what it is and what it does, Subscribed.

@Dilofi1712 Год назад

I just started learning blender a couple of weeks ago and I want to drop by and say thank you for making this tutorial. It really helped me remember the tools in blender and gave me confidence that I can be good at blender. I am really lucky to have found your channel. Keep up the good work!!

@cibulskia Год назад

This is insane. An unusual approach, perfect for experienced people in solid modeling. It just opened my eyes. Thank you.

@TheOz91 2 года назад

Beginner tutorials are a great way for us who use the software for a while as a refresher course. And in my case, the concepts of hard surface modeling hasn't really clicked in completely yet, so might as well do a tut or two!

@jaribesonen2349 2 года назад

@Dina_tankar_mina_ord 2 года назад

I started using blender about a year ago. had been struggling with lightwave back in the day some 20 years ago. Never really advanced or learned much. After the famous dounut tutorial I got in to it real fast and with you and Ryuurui´s excellent free and cost effective courses I am actually starting to get proud of some of my outputs for the first time. Still alot to learn. But with you and other excellent people in the community struggle is usually solved with a youtube search thanks to you guys.

@garymcderp1146 Год назад

A cool trick to get rid of problems especially when beveling is to go into Edit mode, select the entire mesh by pressing A, then M, and select ‘Merge by distance.” At the bottom of the screen you should see Blender saying it removed a number of vertices. Those are the problematic vertices you don’t see especially when the clamping is on but they are there. This gets rid of them.

@creatiw 11 месяцев назад

Will try this. Cheers

You said to move the boolean above the bevel modifier so many times that I don't think I'll ever forget it lmao 🤣 great video! I love how you explain how to fix the errors that we all go through when we do these tutorials such as the glitches that might pop up or the inconsistencies the artifacts love that. A lot of other guides don't do this crucial step they just go on as if everything is always gonna be perfect and come out exactly how they show it which isn't true.

Yup, it was always frustrating trying to fix shit when it didn't work. I never knew where to look.

@otherworlds9677 Год назад

For anyone having weird geometry issues that persist even after Josh's fixes, the edges of your cutting object might be too close or even overlapping the edges or bevels on your primary object. Try either moving the cutter or scaling it down along the x, y, or z axis to spread them apart. That's what fixed my issues.

@Ayogenius67 Год назад

Do u have any e book for this channel coz I can’t find it

@herrremo 7 месяцев назад

This message should be pinned. Thanks my friend! I was exploring ALL parameters to see what I was doing wrong . thanks again!

@garymcderp1146 Год назад

You can also apply a bevel modifier to your cutting object. This way it will cut out nice beveled edges. Useful if you don’t want to apply the bevel modifier to the entire mesh.

@DarkNoggin Год назад

Hey Josh! Love your channel. Been slowly learning Blender over the course of a year and finally feeling more comfortable, though when I hit a small snag it de-rails me completely. Around the 20 minute mark, when I run the Union Bool and move the bevel modifier down below the 2 Bools, I'm not getting the same results- the "merged" bool doesn't appear and I get some artifacts in the geometry. I've made sure both objects are scaled to 1 and matched the bevel parameters: Arc Miter and hardened normals. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

@angrypolygon554 2 года назад

This is a very good tutorial on using the tools within Blender. Blender is an impressive tool considering it's humble origins. As I said, this is a great tutorial for learning Blender. I must also mention that, as a supervising modeler with extensive experience (over 25 years) in the feature film, television, real-time entertainment industries, that the resulting topology at the conclusion of the tutorial would not be accepted in any of the pipelines I have worked in (and there are many). The design is nice, and the tool usage is great; however, there is still a lot of additional work to be done if it were to be pushed through a production pipeline. Thank you for the great tutorial on the tools within Blender - Cheers Angry Polygon

@JoshGambrell 2 года назад

Thanks - it would certainly depend on your industry. I don’t work in those listed but have had clients in the games industry and ngons are totally fine if managed properly. VFX or deformations are a big no-no.

@centerNegative 2 года назад

Josh, great stuff and thanks for sharing this long format tutorial! Just one quick question: Is it possible to achieve this end result complete procedurally-without applying the booleans-so it can be edited later?

@JoshGambrell 2 года назад

You could, but it may make things more difficult depending on the piece.

@tigerwomble1457 2 года назад

@tigersunruss Год назад

Great tutorial. It's quicker to hit the 1, 2 or 3 on the keyboard (not the numberpad) to change from verticies, faces or edges.

@matthewmassey2333 2 года назад

Hey great tutorial. Also a absolutely great explanation of the differences between object and edit mode scale, origin etc. One question i have is why do all your objects have a lighter color on the edges as if they are made of metal for example? is this due to a specific add-on?

@RelativelyBest Год назад

I started trying to use Blender yesterday and I'm definitely going to be referencing this video a lot. The one thing I'm most concerned with right now is how to get exact measurements right: I notice you keep going: "I'll make it about this size" or "I'll put it somewhere around here" but I'm highly averse to eyeballing stuff like this and basically need millimeter precision at all times. Like, when you scale down the inner duplicate of your object, what if you need to it to be an exact percentage smaller than the outer one? Or if you're beveling an edge and want the bevel to be a very specific size? Is there an easy way to do that?

@zaccessory Год назад

25:50 In this section you may or may not still get some geometry issues after changing Bool Tool Solver from Exact to Fast, the way I fix this was by making the Bevel Angle Higher from 30 up to around 36 but might be different for you.

@NateGames636 Год назад

I have this issue but I cant seem to fix it. It only fixes it after 90 degrees, but still no bevel

@NightOwlTime 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for this. For some reason just setting it to 30.1 did wonders.

@Doffu Год назад

Very good tutorial. I only had one issue towards the end that I need help with. When you used the slice, you were mentioning how to apply the boolean modifiers to the object and make two separate objects that could be colored separately. I followed your steps but for some reason only certain faces of my two objects would get colored, others would remain grey. Do you know why this might be?
